The NET4501 kernel config excludes "file-system TMPFS" and is also non-MODULAR, so it can't load it on demand.
Thus, in -7 and -current, the addition of tmpfs /var/shm tmpfs rw,-m1777,-sram%25 to "fstab" by 'postinstall' causes an error when "/etc/rc.d/mountall" runs on the next boot (IIRC something like "operation not supported by device"). Commenting/removing the line from "fstab" silences the error on boot but will cause 'postinstall' to prompt "fix"ing that on the next update. If there is a subsystem that expects "/var/shm" to exist, perhaps all kernel configs should include "TMPFS"? -- |/"\ John D.
